9 days exploring Washington's Pacific coast

Travels with Brian in the Seattle Times

If you love Northwest beaches and quaint beach towns, chances are many of you head for the Oregon coast for vacation. So what's the beef with the Washington coast? Well, nothing. Well, everything. Well, let's go take a fresh look.

That what I'm doing for the next 10 days. I'll jump in a Jeep, packing high boots, foul-weather gear, camera and a laptop.

The plan is to drive, hike and poke around just about every Pacific beach in the state of Washington reachable by car, and some that aren't, from Neah Bay to Ilwaco.
